April 5 – 9, 2025
Washington, D.C.
In a world where injustice and violence are too common, how can your faith guide you to drive positive social and policy change in policy and build authentic relationships and community?
Christian Citizenship Seminar 2025 invites high schoolers, college freshmen (and those who are age-equivalent), and their adult advisors to engage this question and discover how to be advocates for change while being grounded in Jesus’ teachings.
We will build the skills you need to address various issues such as, climate change, war and violence, racism, and poverty, from a faith perspective. Learn from faith-based experts and policy advocates, practice conducting meetings with elected officials, and plan how to best take action and make your perspective heard.

CCS 2025 will take place in Washington D.C., beginning on Saturday, April 5 at 2:00 p.m. and ending by 12:00 (noon) on Wednesday, April 9.
